Michael Wildes says his client, Frumet Teitelbaum, was granted a green card last week.
Teitelbaum was stopped at John F. Kennedy International Airport in March after arriving from Israel, where she lived. She had come to visit her eight American-born children, who were staying with her late husband’s family in Brooklyn. She was stopped for overusing her visitor’s visa.
Wildes says Teitelbaum obtained a green card under a post 9/11 law that allows families of terror victims the right to permanent residency.
Rabbi Leibish Teitelbaum died after gunmen struck the Chabad-Lubavitch movement’s center in Mumbai during a three-day rampage.
BH! I’m happy for this SPECIAL woman!
She is an amazing dynamic upbeat and happy person. One whom we all can learn from.she is a top HS teacher and lecturer.It beats me… Why it took so long and why our govt put her through all that agony as she tried remaining wih her chilren and inlaws.
B”H. She is an amazing woman. She gives speeches and gives chizuk to others. Hashem should give her koach and nachas from her children.
B”H
She gave such inspiring speaches in the community that helped so many live with their problems. It must be a special blessing from Hashem the way she is able to deal with it.
Its great to finally see someone take a tragedy and turn it into something possitive and productive, instead of just becoming a burden for the entire community for the rest of their life.
